This study investigated the relationship among the self-motivation, empathy, social skill and job satisfaction among Anglican Clergymen. This study adopted a correlational survey design. The study covered the five dioceses that were created from the old Warri diocese of Bayelsa and Delta States. Three research questions and three corresponding hypotheses were raised and formulated to guide the study. The entire study population of 528 clergies were used. The research instrument that was used is a four-point Likert type questionnaire titled “self-motivation, empathy, social skill and Job Satisfaction of Clergy Scale” (SESJSS). Cronbach Alpha statistics was used to estimate the reliability of the instrument and the following reliability coefficients (r) of 0.871 for self-motivation, 0.873 for empathy, 0.921 for social skills and 0.911 for clergy job satisfaction were obtained, while regression statistics was used to analyse data to answer the research questions and to test the hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level of significance. From the data analysis, it was found that self-motivation, empathy and social skills are significantly related to job satisfaction of Anglican Clergies. Based on these findings the following recommendations was made: Clergies should be trained on self-motivation, empathy and social relations; Although clergies are counsellors in some form, but they are not trained in the art of usage of psychological principles, as such, refresher courses on psychological approaches to counselling should be given to them; and the church should create a counselling unit and a professional counsellor be engaged to assist the clergy.
